The actor in March 2018 had declared that the vacuum left by the death of two veteran leaders – AIADMK’s J Jayalalithaa and DMK’s M Karunanidhi – was a reason for his decision to enter politics.

By repeating his statement on Friday, Rajinikanth has made it clear that there will be an yet another player in the Assembly elections.
